Friday PFI #6 Blending Worlds: Complexities of Multiculturalism and the Collaborative Divorce Model

 

Modern families present with a range of diversity, from multi-ethnicity, sexual orientation, blood/legal relatedness, religious diversity, and much more. Such multicultural contexts can inform the divorce process, including how families interact with professionals and the professionals (as cultural beings themselves) with families. This workshop is intended to engage attendees in the application of the tenets of multiculturalism (self-awareness, increased knowledge, and skill acquisition) within the collaborative divorce model. In addition to didactic material from a strengths-based and interdisciplinary approach, this interactive workshop will employ demonstrations, videos, vignettes, group experientials, and critical discourse toward the identification of co-created best practices, as well as fostering cultural allies and cultural accountability. Ultimately, the purpose of this workshop is to contribute to the critical discourse of how the collaborative divorce model can be responsive to and inclusive of the unique needs of multicultural families and/or diverse populations served.
